In a major breakthrough Germany has agreed for integration of Indian weapons onboard 6 German submarines offered to India.

😂 That is an oxymoron. Like a truthful liar. Bhikaris are failing to secure supplies for even first-hand second-hand sub batteries for their Agostas. Should give an indication of their future trajectory.

Not entirely sure, but I think we don't have Li-Ion battery tech- that & proven at-sea AIP are the two requirements of P75I. https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2020/10/30/why-is-indian-navy-eyeing-lithium-ion-batteries-for-its-submarines.html Advantages of lithium-ion batteries Relying on...

Indian P76 submarines impeded by rudderless P75I programme 12th August 2022 - 02:40 GMT | by Neelam Mathews in Delhi RSS Naval Group is assisting India’s construction of six Scorpenes. They are years late, with two yet to be commissioned. (IN) India wants to build submarines domestically, but...

With the foreign OEM also bearing the burden of responsibility for local partner I doubt anyone- Koreans included would be interested. Just like the 126 Rafale MMRCA collapsed when GoI wanted DA to guarantee workmanship at HAL. Germans have any operational AIP? I think this is going to ease &...

Already! https://thewire.in/security/india-quietly-launches-its-third-arihant-class-nuclear-powered-submarine-report Here is some info on CMS for INS Vikrant, first from a private company...

LM's BYG1 is used in the Virginia class. It is the brains of a sub that creates a single tactical picture with inputs from all the sensors. It has to be able to handle the large amount of data coming in, process, interpret and present it in a coherent way.

Korea & Spain are still in the race! Korea and Spain defence majors ready to participate in 75 (I) submarine project South Korean Daewoo and Spanish Navantia have proven air independent propulsion technology and are willing to build long endurance submarines under strategic partnership model...

Maybe that's not procedurally possible. You may call GoI whatever but it is a stickler for procedure, otherwise, this approach reeks of common sense & IN+MoD must have considered and binned it at some point in time. Does the Kalvari order have any provision for follow on? Also, given how Indian...

Won't cut it simply because the aim of P75 & P75I was to be the last ever imports of Western and Russian subs respectively (Western subs were allowed into P75I later, once IN realised Russians don't have the tech) and to give us the total capability to locally make DE subs. How to get AIP, LIB &...

How so? Between an IN unrelenting on requirements, unwilling to take risks (look at how the Japs spent money experimenting- putting out real subs in the water with AIP before they realised it was not worth it), strapped for cash, foreign collaborators jittery about liability clauses or tech...

I think we are fully self-sufficient in SLBMs (K5 & upcoming K6). As for Miss France- I'm pretty certain that's going to be embargoed by French law since it represents the absolute epitome of their national reproductive tech over several millennia! :pound:

Blame China! Had they shown more balls & taken on IA along the LAC in even a Kargil like skirmish the pace on these projects would have gone hypersonic. Even porkis are sitting quiet after Pulwama, basking in manufactured glory of swift retreat.

South Korea's defence budget for 2022 has been finalised at KRW54. 61 trillion (USD46. 32 billion). They are selling us subs (which BTW is an evolution of the design we had many decades ago), K9 SPH, even minesweepers at one point, possibly the K21-105 light tank with L&T, they have their own...

It will be a lot more than that! But there are several years over which it needs to be spent and then we can also start selling our own stuff (everything from space assets to underwater) to countries that are afraid of China and don't want to splurge on American/Israeli military hardware.

Rafale ToT + M88-2 ToT + help with designing 90/120kN Kaveri + pump jet propulsors ToT & other tech for stealthy subs + LEU powered nuke subs ToT +... it's potentially a long list!

Saurav Jha of Delhi Defence Review says the 114 MRFA will happen & Rafale makes a lot of sense.

That's true, but now 10+ years have passed with no work on a local design. Some pertinent tweets on why scorpenes may be unsuitable and also agree with IDDM (supplemented with tech bought from overseas where there is a gap) being the way forward as opposed to SPM. IN like the other two services...

Report: Russia pulls out of Indian Navy's P-75I submarine tender, due to lack of functional AIP system. Germany too will take part, only if changes are made in the tender. #Russia says it won't bid for #IndianNavy P75I #submarine plan, offers upgraded #kilo class . Essentially leaves...
